Healthy Hungarian Coconut Balls

263 g

These little treat were inspired by a Hugarian all time favourite: coconut balls. The original recipe unfortunately is quite high in sugar and saturated fat. However my version is vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, egg free, dairy free, high in fibre and protein. A perfect guilt free snack that won't give an insulin spike. That's because I used dried fruit and a natural sweetener called xylitol with very low levels of GI and half the calories compared to sugar. It's also really quick to make which means you can have them prepped up and ready-to-eat in the fridge even when you are busy. It keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.
If you want to get your own lot of sugar visit Total Sweet Xylitol, Europe's leading xylitol supplier or alternatively, you can find it in all the big supermarkets.
